Even after trading Demaryius Thomas to the Texans, the Broncos appear to have a bright future at wide receiver.

Denver still has Emmanuel Sanders, a Pro Bowl-caliber receiver, who will now become the team’s top receiving option.

Behind him, the Broncos have Courtland Sutton, a second-round draft pick that — like Thomas — stands 6-foot, three inches tall. Sutton has the potential to emerge as Denver’s future No. 1 receiver.

After Sutton, the Broncos have Tim Patrick, DaeSean Hamilton and Isaiah McKenzie on the active roster. The team also has River Cracraft available on the practice squad. And Jordan Taylor, who is currently on the physically unable to perform list, is eligible to return on Nov. 8.

So while Denver’s offense will certainly miss Thomas, the team is not necessarily thin at receiver. The team is particularly excited about the futures of Sutton and Hamilton, two members of this year’s rookie class.
